wow when they said this was minimalist music they weren't fuckin kidding

[slowbloodmusic]

if you really want to "see the significance", i would suggest doing some research. look up "just-intonation" and "minimalism" on wikipedia as a start. or you could just read a bit about La Monte Young to understand where he's coming from. also, this is not "pseudo-random", he is improvising on pre-determined themes. there is a high degree of intent behind this piece that may not be evident in such a short clip. it is a very long piece.

@MrChirpsky Oops, I left my iTunes on & listened to this with Shaeffer's tape piece & Cage's Williams Mix - pretty interesting collage.

[MrChirpsky]

Sorry if someone already pointed this out, but the tape music is by Pierre Schaeffer. I guess Young uses other peoples music quite a bit.

To someone with perfect pitch, that annoying repeated C over and over again is adequate enough to induce a migraine. As a musician of over 25 years, I struggle to see the significance of pseudo-random combinations of only a few notes. I bet the computer on Jeopardy could compose a song just like this in only a fraction of a second.

Would be great if someone could post 'Get into the Sound: the Sound is God, please? :)
